More About "NgEK, Inc."

NgEK – Heritage & Success

NgEK Automotive Automation to the MAX, a Cincinnati engineering firm, is one of the country’s leading engine and drive-train control companies with over 20 patents in use by major engine and drive-train manufacturers. These designs represent the state of the art in commercial vehicle performance including: the low emission diesel engines, a next generation of truck transmissions, and the hybrid trucks being used by many in the U.S. and overseas. It is through NgEK’s efforts that our clients have become dominant forces in their respective industries – leading the way in environmentally friendly, fuel efficient conventional and hybrid trucks. Building on these proven concepts and NgEK’s digital control system expertise we are poised to provide a cost effective way to triple the efficiency and emission performance of the vehicle powertrain. The staged introduction of more sophisticated systems will provide the benefits of the digital powertrain in a manner that keeps pace with the required changes in the supporting energy infrastructure.

Business Opportunity

Over the past 18 months, New Generation Engineering Knowledge (NgEK, Inc.) has invested more than $1 million in the study of the basic design parameters surrounding automotive engine efficiency. A novel, patent pending approach has been identified with the potential to yield a 30% - 50% improvement in fuel economy and emissions through changes to the combustion cycle of the engine.

The capture, storage and reuse of the energy used to stop the vehicle provides additional efficiencies of up to 75% in systems we have developed for stop and go driving. Our approach is a system that optimizes regenerative capture, is a low cost, and can be retrofit into existing cars and integrated into new designs.

Managing the introduction of disruptive technology is NgEK’s “sweet spot”. The company is experienced in delivering revolutionary products in record time with a proven track record of innovation in products that are currently used by major vehicle manufacturers.
